What do u do to relieve the pain in neck and back which is caused due to constant working on computer?

Answer 1

Several options:

1. Check the level of the keyboard. Too high or low keyboard can add stress to the arms - which then travel up the arms to the neck and shoulders.
2. Check the level of your monitor. If it is too low, you may be hunching over - which again puts strain on the neck and shoulders.

Basic ergonomics are important, but also consider:

Get up from time to time and stretch. If you have a door jam near by. Put a hand on each side and lead forward, making your arms stretch.
Another good thing to do is to hold your arms out to the side and rotate your wrists.
You can also take a few moments and do some head rolls (move your head left to right, looking over your shoulder as far as you can and then move your head side to side slowly) to keep your neck limber.
I'm sure there are plenty of other exercises and stretches you can find over the internet.

Answer 2

Do whatever you need to do to make the workspace more ergonomic. It might be as simple as elevating your monitor, raising your seat, using a foot rest, or attaching a keyboard tray to a standard desk.

I use Capzasin-P ointment, massage, heating pads, and Flexaril to relieve the pain. Take a break and walk around for about 5 min for every hour you are sitting.

If nothing else is doing the job, see a chiropractor.

Answer 3

It could be, especially if you assume 'proper' posture all day long. You can also get a pain in the neck by sleeping on it wrong, staying in the same position too long, etc. I suppose this could go for sitting at the comp all day too.

Answer 4

Maybe you need to change the position of your monitor and maybe the keyboard? I hope you have the right chair to sit in. And maybe get one of those viberating pillows that go around your neck.....use it while at the computer.
Others have also given you some good advice.

Answer 5

Do a series of stretching exercises; get up and walk around to get the circulation back in your legs; take care of your neck as well with stretches and rolls.

Answer 6

I had the same problem. I solved it by elevating the monitor. That way I was forced to hold my head up straight more often. Sitting back in your chair helps too.

Answer 7

I work on my computers at least 18 hours a day and have the same pain except I take a 10-15 min. break every 2-3 hrs. I find that just standing up and walking around in the office is best. Good Luck Dr. Brown (EE)

Answer 8

Be kind to yourself! Try to get up often, and while you are sitting, be aware of your position. On your off time, do lost of walking and even some back-strengthening exercises.

Answer 9

Try taking a break :-)
